Ingredients
- 1 pound Medium shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 cup Cornstarch
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh scallions (sliced thinly for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha. Stir until smooth and set aside. This will be the creamy, spicy Bang Bang sauce.
Step 2
Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a separate bowl. Pour buttermilk over the shrimp, ensuring all pieces are coated, and let it soak for 10 minutes.
Step 3
While the shrimp soaks, heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
Step 4
In another bowl, pour the cornstarch. Remove the shrimp from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, and coat each piece in cornstarch until fully coated.
Step 5
Carefully fry the shrimp in the hot oil in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 6
Once all the shrimp are fried, place them in a large mixing bowl. Pour the Bang Bang sauce over the shrimp and gently toss to coat evenly.
Step 7
Transfer the shrimp to a serving plate and garnish with thinly sliced scallions.
Step 8
Serve immediately as an appetizer or as part of a main dish over a bed of lettuce or rice.
